Gap Year Program

We spend our days doing ‘frum academia,’ exploring literally any topic and ultimately the world with a Jewish lens—through Gemara, Tanakh, philosophy, logic, art, history, literature—and whatever we can pull out of the encyclopedic brains of our teachers. I finally feel like I’m becoming a well-rounded person.

— Zoie, Atlanta

I love being able to explore Torah and Jewish ideas from multiple perspectives and being given room to think for myself.

— Meira, Teaneck

The longer I’m at Amudim, the more I realize how much more there is to know. We use both sources and our own minds to draw conclusions. I came to Amudim knowing how to think, but here I’m learning how to think well.
